After singer Jackie Allen first recorded with pianist Judy Roberts–on their self-produced 1998 Christmas album, Santa Baby–you had to wonder why it hadn’t happened sooner. Both local Chicago regulars, they’ve gigged together on and off for most of the decade; Allen’s light, buoyant voice makes a lovely match with the bright harmonies and bouncy Horace Silver rhythms of Roberts’s piano style, and when they both sing, Roberts’s polished-brass clarity complements Allen’s more ethereal, yearning tone.
